Canadians seem to be badly in need of snow
Sheds
The city has given the gas and electric light
companies immensely valuable franchises in
return for which the city gets nOthing-not
even far treatment. They have formed a COM
bination to prevent competition and each COM
pany fixes the price for its own district. The
result is in some cases a greater charge TO the
city than to private consumers. Several years
ago the charge for gas lamp was $12 so
where now it is ST. so. The electric light
companies ask 10 cents more per night for
each lamp than is charged in Brooklyn, though
1t has recently been shown that the charge
there is excessive More light on these points
Is evidently needed.
The facts set forth elsewhere relative to the
misgovernment of Gravesend and Coney Island
supply good reasons why the Bacon Committee
should be continued until it can investigate the
methods of the Opera-bouffe administration
there. They furnish equally good reasons why
the Republicans in the Legislature should long
hesitate before passing bills 643 and go in
creasing the powers of the John Y. McRane
governors of Gravesend. And finally they sug-
gest that it would be wise for the Legislature
to take some steps to give the control of such
parts OF Coney Island as belong to Gravesend
to a more responsible governing power than
that IN present control The investigation
should go on without delay.
If an ofiiciabutterance from Commissioner
Fink's Office is to be relied upon the Interstate
Commerce act has already brought about :" one
OF the greatest reforms ever inaugurated in the
railway passenger service of this country At
least that is the official declaration concern
ing the new agreement ito abolish absolutely
and forever" the payment of commissions on
passenger business. As to this commission
business having reached the proportions of a
gigantic evil there Is no question. The official
circular says that it costs the railroads over
@5,o00,00O a year. 1t is fun for the scalpers "
but bad for tho railroads. They have several
times solemnly agreed to abolish the payment
Of commissions, and have often broken their
agreements. They claim with the aid of the
new law they can now stop the abuse. 1t will
be fortunate for them if this proves true.
1t is significant that Notwithstanding the
great efforts of tho Mugwump providence

lutionary families. Bion Bradbury was born
Mt Biddeford, Me, Dec. @, 1911, graduated at
Bowdoin college in 1880, and was admitted
to the practice of law at Alfred, York
county, in 1884. In 1912 he was a mem,
Der OF the legislature, and in 1874 was
appointed collector of the port ut Eastport,
which office he held for ten years. There
after he was member of the legislature and
delegate to state and national conventions
till the war. In 1862 he ran for the legisla-
ture rs n War Democrat and was elected
without opposition. He was at various times
candidate for governor and congress, but the
Republican majority prevailed against him.
From 1866 to 1880 he was almost a dictator in
Democratic councils in Maine. He generally
wrote the platforms, and in one instance the
convention adopted his speech as a platform.
But his most famous work was in 1S7S-9,
when he reorganized the divided Democracy
Of Maine, and though their vote for governor
was divided, under his management they Sc
cured the legislature in 1879, and that body
chose Alonzo Garcelon as governor. In 1880
he succeeded in combining the Greenback and
Democratic strength in favor Of Ger. Hollis
NJ. Plaisted, who was chosen governor. He
continued active till the close OF 1882, then
retired from politics and soon after from bus
mess. He failed rapidly thereafter and dlod
OF general weakness at tho age OF 70.

MARTIN A. FonAN, Of Cleveland, i.

MARTIN A. FoRAN, of Cleveland, is
being strongly urged as Democratic can
didate for governor of Ohio. He is a
strong man viewed either mentally or
from the standpoint of personal popular
ity. He was originally a cooper by trade,
but his strong individuality soon made
him a marked man. He subsequently
studied law and acquired a big local repu-
tation and a lucrative practice. At pres
ent he is a member of congress-.
Foran is a man of great personal
magnetism. He possesses the entire con,
fdence of the working people, for he is
neither a blatherskite nor a ~demagogue.
II he can be induced to accept, his nomi
nation will weaken the present political
fences in Ohio and be the signal for one
of the most energetic campaigns eyel
known in the history of the state.

The moment of supreme dignity in a boys
life is whenh he first gets into trousers. Perhaps
the feeling of triumph is due more to his now
having discarded long skirts than to anything
else. This appears from the remark OF one
observant youth, who, upon the memorable
occasion, glanced down over the new glories
OF his person, and exclaimed: "Now I've got
two legs, just like Saml"
Small Robin, when he had come to this
first turning point Of life, showed himself,
under similar circumstances, more of a gen.
tleman. Arrayed in his new suit, he was at
first speechless with sheer delight. Then at
length his joy found tongue, and he burst
out: 10 mamma, pants make me feel so grand
Didn't it make you feel grand when"-
But an awfu consciousness came over him
that this bliss had never been shared by his
mother, and he laid his wee, chubby hand
pityingly against her cheek, saying, pathetic,
ally: poor mamma poor mammaln-Youth's

JUDGE Corn has reafirmed his decis.
ion that the misbranding of cattle on an
Indian reservation is not an indictable of
tense in the territory. Prosecuting At
torney Dixon, OF Rawlins, originally
raised this point last year, and he was
sustained in it by Judge Corn. The
matter was subsequently argued before
the supreme court by Dixon, but no de
cision was reached. When the point was
first raised by Dixon it was vigorously
contested by Willis Van Devanter, who
then represented the Stock Growers
Association. 1t is a somewhat remark
able fact that these " gentlemen were
again on opposing sides at the last trial
OF this. issue at Lander. This time, how
ever, Dixon appeared for the Stock
Growers Association, while Van Devanter
represented the man who had mis-
branded the cattle. Mr.. Van Devanter De
liyered a practically similar speech to that
made by Dixon a year ago and which
he at that time considered illogical aud
legally weak. Dixon combatted his own
speech of a year ago. shifted with disdain
at the points which he had then consid-
cred very strong and fired q revised edi-
ton of Mr.. Van Devanter's last years
arguments at the court. Judge Corn,
however. stuck to his original ruling, sus-
tanning the point which was originally
raised by Mr.. Dixon and originally com
batted by Mr.. Van Devanter, and which
was s~econdarily raised by Mr.. Van De-
vanter and secondarily combatted by Mr..
Dixon.
